COLLECTING IMPLICIT INFORMATION FOR DETERMINING CONTEXT OF EVENT ACTIONS
First Claim
1. A server device to manage a mobile communication, comprising:
- a transceiver to send and receive data over a network; and
a processor that is operative to perform actions, comprising;
creating a group associated with a spontaneous event, wherein the spontaneous event comprises a gathering of people;
receiving a membership to the spontaneous event, wherein each member is associated with a mobile device;
receiving at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event;
distributing to each member'"'"'s mobile device the at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event, and further posting at least the media content message to a website associated with the spontaneous event; and
determining a start time and an end time associated with the spontaneous event, based on receiving the at least one text message or media content message.

Abstract
A device, system, and method are directed towards determining a start and/or an end time for a spontaneous event. A mobile device user creates a group for the spontaneous event, and sends the members an invite. During the event, members share media content and/or text messages with other members. Based, in part, on a flow of media content and/or text messages between the members, a determination of a start time and/or end time of the spontaneous event is automatically performed. The start time may be based on when the group is created and/or revised when a flow rate of the media content and/or messages exceed a threshold. The end time may be based on the flow rate being less than another threshold. The location of the spontaneous event may also be determined based on a location of the member'"'"'s mobile devices during the event.

6. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for sharing of event information over a network, the computer-executable instructions when installed onto a computing device enable the computing device to perform actions comprising:
-
creating a group associated with a spontaneous event, wherein the spontaneous event comprises a gathering of people; receiving a membership to the spontaneous event, wherein each member is associated with a mobile device; receiving at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event; distributing to each member'"'"'s mobile device the at least one text message or media content message during the spontaneous event; and determining a start time and an end time associated with the spontaneous event, based on receiving the at least one text message or media content message. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)

9. A mobile device for sharing information, comprising:
-
a memory component for storing data; and a processing component for executing data that enables actions, comprising; creating a membership group to a spontaneous event; sharing, during the event, at least one of media content or text message to at least one other mobile device associated with a member of the group, wherein sharing of the media content further comprises enabling automatic posting of the media content to a website associated with the event independent of further actions by the mobile device; and enabling a determination of a start time or an end time of the spontaneous event based on the sharing of the at least one media content or text message. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
